    For most people, if they want any kind of home automation then they’d have to trust someone, as most people won’t be able to deploy and maintain their own system. So now you have 2 options (other than just not automating your home)

    • Trust a company you already have to trust (since they provide the OS and hardware for your computer, phone, tablet, watch, etc.)
    • Trust an additional company

    So would you rather bet on 1 company not being evil, or 2 companies not being evil?

      You can automate your house yourself without the need for a big corp to step in and get access to your home.

        Sure, that’s an option. And we don’t need central heating, a fireplace worked fine. We didn’t even need to build houses, we were fine living in caves. And who needs fire anyway, raw meat and berries are more than enough.
